Father and Son: A Conversation on Lewis's Great Divorce (Episode 2)

Welcom to Episode 2 of 9 in our series on C.S. Lewis's novel, "The Great Divorce." We will explore and I hope you enjoy, the ideas presented by Lewis in this fantastic tale, a dream vision, written in response (according to Lewis) to William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell." Today's conversation features a father and son duo, David and Turner Burnett. We discuss the lasting solidity of heaven, the work of becoming our true selves, and learn a bit about a man named Emmanuel Swedenborg. We hope you'll enjoy our splendid romp through the realm of Lewis's Great Divorce - welcome to the Plunge! David Burnett is an attorney, investor and avid fly fisherman.
